The Pebble Heads Series - Commissioned Caricature Portrait Paintings

This popular series depicts people spending a day at the seaside, typically gathered on the sea wall for a group photograph.

Using pebbles as heads British artist Jacqueline Hammond caricatures people and life in modern British society. With over fifty paintings in the Pebble Heads series to date, the majority specially commissioned by clients, this forms a large body of work. A selection of these commissioned pieces and other originals are detailed below.

A painting makes an original and truly unique gift for someone you care about or to mark an occasion. Family or group portraits by Jacqueline have been given as wedding, birthday, moving in, retirement, christening and Valentine’s presents.

To own an original Pebble Head Portrait of yourself, a couple, relatives, grandparents, family group, work mates or a group of friends at the seaside, whatever the scenario here's what to do:

Write down your requirements and ideas for the piece – Who? Where? Why? What for?

Attach a clear photo/s of the people to be included. Ideally include a group photo, and from the waist up. Give indication of the difference in heights between people and note down what they look like now, hair colour, style, colour of eyes etc.

It’s useful to suggest any prominent characteristics or personality traits, dress sense, hobbies that help identify the individual and might be incorporated into the scene or influence the painting in some way. Example: “I am generally very smiley; Laura is a chatterbox, and Pete is a grumpy old dad!”

Imagine your family or group of friends ‘pebblised’ forever in a work of art to hang above the mantelpiece - ORDER YOURS NOW!

Prices for a seaside scene of people standing on the sea wall with the pier in the background, start from £75.
